§ Mr. HUDSONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether Tralee has been proclaimed as a special military area; whether he is aware that permits to enter or leave have been refused to a number of workpeople, and they are, in consequence, unable to follow their employment; and whether, in considering the application for permits, duo regard is given to the circumstances in each case?
§ Mr. SHORTTTralee has been declared to be a special military area. No permit is required to leave Tralee, and permits to enter have only been refused to persons whom it was undesirable to allow in owing to their seditious and dangerous tendencies. I am informed that only four workpeople have been unable to follow their employment in consequence of a refusal of permits to enter. These cases are carefully considered from time to time. Due regard is given to the circumstances of each case in considering the applications for permits to enter.
